A busy road leading into the town centre will see new parking restrictions introduced within months.
Weymouth Street in Warminster will see double yellow lines painted on after proposals were approved by Wiltshire Council cabinet member for Highways, Streetscene and Flooding, Cllr Martin Smith.
Warminster Town Council has said that Wiltshire Council will now appoint a contractor to carry out the work, which should be completed in around two months’ time.
The town council previously endorsed double yellow lines on one side of Weymouth Street following discussions at the Highways Advisory Committee in September 2025.

A spokesperson said the town council recognised the decision won’t please everyone with the loss of free parking balanced against the problems of congestion caused by high usage and poor parking.
They added that it was expected that the parking restrictions will improve access to and from the town centre via Weymouth Street as well as making the roads easier and safer for residents and visitors.
The town council had previously identified the problematic nature of the road after members of the public and councillors raised concerns over access for emergency services during busy times in the park and town centre as well as traffic congestion.
